Flight time.................................
Hey Brits,
I was wondering if any of you could recommend any good sites for flights at the moment, e.g ones that offer multiple comparisons like Booking Buddy.....
Cheers

Make sure you check the price with taxes and fees, because that can kill you. For example, Albuquerque to London: BA usually appears ~$100 cheapest despite having to fly to AZ first, but after taxes they are always ~$200 more than Continental flying Albuquerque - Houston - London.

If you find a Continental flight is the cheapest on a travel agency site, check it out on continental.com. They have a lowest price guarantee if you book directly with them plus you get bonus miles and sometimes free stuff for booking on their website.

Kate (my missus) has the knack of finding good flights but is shut in a dark room with a migrane at the moment. She did find flights for my son and his girlfriend to come over in two week on Icelandair for an amazing 375 quid each the night before last ! ............ all the rest were over 600.

When I've used travelocity etc, they always seemed more expensive than AA, United etc, but it would be nice to fly BA
